In terms of 'how', it's pretty straight forward. A Wolf3D EMS drives the 6 GM coils directly (no ignitor needed). Wire up one channel per coil. The L28ET sensor is wired directly to Wolf's trigger input, with one additional hole added, making the disc a 6+1 wheel. KTM covered this fairly well here... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/59666-wolf-v500-ems-installation-guide/ Coil bracket, part numbers, and schematic here... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/61802-l6-dis-brackets-lsx-coils-now-available/page__p__570261__hl__dis__fromsearch__1#entry570261 Many standalone EMS's will do this, including Motec, Haltech, Vi-Pec, etc.

sticky280zx and turboHLS30, You've both been suspended for 30 day's. Next time it's permanent.

280Z struts are approx 2.17" O.D.

We are in the process of reorganizing forum structure. In effort to ease general forum traffic, most of the stickies/pinned topics are being moved to the FAQ sub-forum. The FAQ's are now locked from new threads being created, but you may reply to existing threads. Staff will move threads into the FAQ's as needed. The bulk of the move is complete, but there is still a great deal of housekeeping yet. We ask for your patience and hope that it helps future navigating. Thanks, Staff.

Gone now Just a quick note, with a better explanation to come once we've finished. We're moving all of our 'best topics' to the FAQ sub-forum. It'll take a little time to complete the set up & transfer, so you'll see things moving around over the next few day's.

1) I have no particular respect for this driver, based on the video alone. 2) I couldn't care less about the danger to himself. 3) He's breaking the rules and that should have consequences. 4) His distraction elevates the potential consequences for his competitors. 5) His competitors know they are putting themselves in a hazardous environment, and that's a choice they make. No one is holding a gun to their head. 6) I see worse on public roads almost daily. 7) His cage is pink.

I hear what you guy's are saying and I don't disagree. But, our 'IT department' is a bit overloaded at the moment. Give us some time and we'll see what we can do.

You can consider this your first complaint then While I'm not on exactly the same page as BLOZ UP, I will tend to agree with him that semi-trailing arm is not on my list of favorite features. I've owned a couple M3's. In stock configuration, the semi-trailing rear is just okay. They can be modified to favor certain characteristics, which is something they did with the DTM cars. For example, stock sweep angle is 15 deg. DTM cars ran around 11 or 12. Production Nissan cars use something closer to 25 deg. The DTM cars were also built for adjustable camber, toe, and roll center. If I ever own another E30 M3, I will seriously consider some of the 'advancements'. My current daily driver is an E36 M3. While not a huge leap in rear suspension design, It does suit my tastes better.

I suppose that depends on how you look at it. I like the stock EFI pump. It's mostly quiet, reliable, and when run at low pressure will provide a LOT of fuel. It would serve you well with the proper regulator. If you'd rather keep your current regulator, then you need a different type of pump. There are plenty of electric pumps available for your application. Try jegs.com and summitracing.com. That'll get you started. I believe that topic has been discussed a few times here.

That pump is not designed to dead head like that. Must fix I don't know how you're venting the tank, but you will need something. The canister is one of the 'nicer' ways to do it.

What are you using for a pressure regulator? Does it have return line back to the tank? Are you making use of the charcoal canister?

Maybe I'm getting too old for this. I had to read it several times, and I *think* I know what he's saying, but I can't be certain. Dunlop, could you clarify a few things.... What year of Z? What fuel pump and where is it located? (saying "stock" doesn't mean anything) Carb'd or injected?

I'm close to liking them with ZG's... If I find one for you in Oregon, you'll come visit?

Too funny, I to sometimes think I want one. Not sure why though. It may be because my uncle bought one brand new and let me drive it... before I had my license At the time I thought it was a stunning car. And to a young man, use to driving pick-ups on acreage, it was damn fast. I quickly outgrew my desire for one, but the last few years, I've had an itch. Let us know if you scoop one up.

BRAAP.

I'll fess up to my lack of experience with Aeromotive FPR's. But still... check valves are constructed by that description and they seal 'fine'. Why is this an issue for these regulators? Also, the OP said "for a SPLIT second the goes straight to 0 very fast". If this is true with a functioning check valve, that seems like a pretty large shunt, doesn't it?

What you are saying then, is that they leak internally. If so, you better have enough overhead in your fuel supply to cover it.

Incorrect. A properly functioning FPR will hold pressure just fine after a prime. The loss in pressure after a prime is because there is no check valve stopping the fuel from back flowing through the pump. Or you have a leak. But, now I'm beginning to understanding what you meant in your first post... the pressure drop to 10-15psi was occurring after the pump stopped running, correct? So, you're saying the 0 pressure reading you were reporting was with the pump off? But when it's on, you can reach target pressure?

Also, I believe I still have a still-in-package set of poly rack bushings for the 280. Let me know if you're interested and I'll make sure I can find them.

The quick knuckles change the geometry of the steering. Installing them is moving away from Ackermann. It's in ongoing argument, but I think you'll find more knowledgeable people pro-Ackermann than anti. Myself, I would prefer to lengthen the arms, if the option were there, simply because I believe the S30 is lacking in this area (close to parallel steering).

Don't know anything about the car, but I thought it was novel enough to share...

Sorry, but that doesn't make it infallible. If you want to test it... pinch off the return line (back to the tank). If the fuel pressure comes up, the regulator is fubar. If the pressure stays down, you have a delivery problem... pump, pump wiring, plugged lines/filter, or a leak. Of course, this assumes the gauge is working correctly. And, Joel is correct, it should never have dropped to 10-15 psi. And please please please post descriptive subject titles.

I haven't looked into BMW axles. There are other choices that are easy enough (280ZXT and Z31) and, if you looking for maximum strength and serviceability, the Porsche 930 stuff looks good. Blueovalz built his own and Wolf Creek Racing sells complete kits for Datsuns.
